    Thank you for your comment Clovishound and I think we are of a similar mindset. Woodworking and wood turning was my other hobby until arthritis in my hands finally put paid to it some 20-odd years ago. Despite my refusal to accept it, the day I struck a golf shot and the club went further than...

    January 2024 Monthly Assignment: NEW

    I'm bit of a sucker for trying to give old kit new life and when I came across this a few days ago for just a few £'s I couldn't resist.

    Thanks for looking and you are quite right Marilynne, however the pivot pin and hole of these pincers is badly worn and not worth re-bushing now as I have several others in excellent condition. These were presented to my father-in-law when he was an apprentice fitter and, given my age, I'm...

    Two items heading for the recycling bins: I've just noticed that the exif data shows a created date of 2023, this is wrong and should be 2024-the camera date is set wrong and puts my ineptitude on display again. :rolleyes:

    Sensor cleaning needed

    There is a plethora of videos/information on sensor cleaning on the 'net but if you don't feel confident enough to tackle the issue yourself - and the danger is that you could ruin the sensor or do other damage - then I would have it done professionally by a company that offers a guarantee on...

    Post your church shots

    I looked back at this church as I left via a side gate and I was taken with the soft mellow glow of the Yorkshire sandstone of its construction and the incongruity of having to lay claim to its own waste bin, albeit in a rather unique manner. Then I read the inscription on the foreground...

    Well spotted Needa. Those, and the monthly ones, are on my PC's and phone. Being retired these seventeen years, those on the kitchen calendar are the only obligations I'm committed to. :)
